Jax’s father recently passed away, and his death sent Jax into a bit of a tailspin. Brittany was there to help him cope with the loss and prevent his life from spiraling downward. His engagement ring for Brittany holds meaning that connects their engagement to his father’s remembrance and how Brittany was there for him when he died.

“When my father passed away, he left some money for my sister and I, and I’m using my money for the right,” he says. “Every time I look at it I can think of my dad, and that’s just another memory for me, so.”

Tonight’s episode documents Jax telling his friends about his plans to propose, and the actual proposal itself which actually took place this June.
